SUMMARYPowders made from 15 plant species were tested in the laboratory against C. maculatus on stored cowpea seeds. Fewest eggs were laid on seeds mixed with Nicotiana tabacum powder. Few eggs were also laid on seeds mixed with powders obtained from Erythrophleum suaveolens and Ocimum gratissimum. N. tabacum powder, followed by E. suaveolens powder, was the most effective in reducing egg hatch.

Summary Introduction: Post-harvest protection of food grains against stored products insects’ infestation is a complementary means towards ensuring food security. Objective: Powders and extracts from Eugenia aromatica O. Berg and Aframomom melegueta K. Schum are to be evaluated for their synergetic effects on Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricus under laboratory conditions. Methods: The products were applied at rates of 1 g/20 g and 1% conc./20 g cowpea seeds respectively. Results: Findings show that E. aromatica products was more effective by evoking 100% mortality within 24 and 48 h, while synergetic effects of the two products evoked 100% mortality at 72 and 96 h. The survival of the bruchids treated with plant powder from eggs to adults indicated that, control had significant (p<0.05) progeny development (75.50%) in comparison with sole application of E. aromatica and combination with A. melegueta which recorded no progeny development. Conclusion: The study revealed that the plant products exerted toxicity effect against cowpea bruchid. Thus, they can be used to prevent egg hatching and thereby helping in the management of cowpea seeds.

The present review focuses on some major researches dealing with controlling Cowpea seed bruchid (CSB) due to Callosobruchus maculatus (Fab.) [Coleoptera: Bruchidae] by using some plant products. The objective of this review is to look in to the successes of the use of plant materials in the management of CSB especially in the tropics where bulk of the crop is cultivated and consumed. The review of available literature showed that, plants such as Neem, Azadirachta indica A. Juss; Garlic, Allium sativum (L.); West African pepper, Piper guineense Schumach; drum stick, Moringa oleifera Lam; African Basil, Ocimum gratissimum (L.); Moss plant; Barbula indica and Clausena anisata (Willd.) Hook has been used in CSB control. Available literatures showed that garlic, chilies and peppermint applied at the rate of 0.035–0.55g significantly (p≤0.05) reduced oviposition, respectively compared to the control. Similarly, powdered flowers of M. oleifera applied at the rate of 0.5 g per 30 g of seeds caused mortality of CSB better than the control 8 hours after infestation. The use of C. anisata and Permethrin showed percentage mortality of cowpea bruchids was high using Permethrin but was not significantly (p≥0.05) better than Clausena leaf powder. Groundnut oil applied at ˂ 4mls kg-1 does not affect germination process of cowpea stored for up to 12 weeks. However, increasing rate of application decreases germination. The review clearly indicated that plant products have potentials of controlling CSB in stored cowpea as they are safe and free from residue. They are hereby encouraged.

Abstract The relative susceptibility of different accessions of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean L. Verdc) to Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) was assessed in a laboratory trial in Nigeria. Treatments were comprised factorial combinations of four grain sources from Nigeria (Enugu, Anambra, Benue and Kogi state) and three predominantly contrasting seed coat colours (black, brown, and milky-colour) laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD). There were four replications of each treatment. Egg depositions by adult C. maculatus were affected by grain sources such that ovipositions on those sourced from the state of Anambra were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those from other sources. Similarly, black coloured grains harboured more insects and eggs compared to other seed coat colours. Accesssions collected from Benue and/or those with a milky-coloured seed coat showed some levels of oviposition deterrence. However, the interaction of grain source and seed coat colour was not significant based on oviposition, adult emergence, and mortality counts. Grain sources and seed coat colour were, therefore, important traits to be considered while selecting ideotypes for resistance to C. maculatus
